| Dec-28-07 | | stonebrain2006: See game 456. Quinteros 1/2 Kasparov 1/2 Moscow, 1982. |
|
| Dec-28-07 | | stonebrain2006: Certainly, Mr. Quinteros was not a beginner.
See:
Quinteros 1/2 Karpov 1/2 Wien open, 1986
Quinteros 1/2 Smyslov 1/2,1986.

| Dec-28-07 | | stonebrain2006: A game worth looking is:
Quinteros 1 Tigran Petrosian 0, Buenos Aires, 1979.
The former world champion thoroughly trashed by the Argentinian playboy in a Catalan! |

 | | Fusilli: <stonebrain2006> Just a little tip: if you go to the page for the game you cite and then copy the URL for that page into your post, your post will show the game in question (rather than the URL) and it will be a link. Useful for your readers if you are inviting them to check out that game. For example:
Quinteros vs Petrosian, 1979

He is more active now as a Fide Representative in Argentina. |

| | wordfunph: Miguel Quinteros was criticized for declining draws offered by famous masters. "I didn't travel 10,000 kilometers to Leningrad just for the sake of drawing," he retorted. Fortune was not on his side, and he lost to Byrne and Tal. happy 63rd birthday Maestro Miguel! |

| | GrahamClayton: <Benzol>I believe his wife was a former Miss Argentina <Benzol>,
According to an article in the "Australian Women's Weekly", dated 24 May 1978, Quinteros's wife was Benje, who was crowned "Miss Phillipines, Maid of Cotton" in 1975. Here is the full text of the article:
"There are only 40 chess grandmasters in the world. Miguel Quinteros is one, but he looks more like a showbiz star. The 29-year-old Argentinian is the first chess grandmaster to visit Australia. He is here with his wife, Benjie, who was "Miss Philippines, Maid of Cotton" in 1975, to help publicise the chess Olympics due to be held in Argentina in October. Ten Australians, including four women, will play in the olympics. "Your players are all young, and chess at top competition level is definitely a game for the young," said Miguel. "lt's easy to think it is only mentally demanding, but it has been calculated that one game of championship chess burns up as much
physical energy as three sets of tennis."
Miguel studies chess up to eight hours every day. He spends almost as long making sure he is physically fit to stand up to top match pressures, but he does not find that too difficult - he was once a professional soccer player. "As a grandmaster I can earn up to $40,000 a year and get to see plenty of the world. If I had remained a soccer player it's unlikely I would ever have left Argentina - and then I wouldn't have met my wife (at a chess match in the Philippines). "Almost anyone can become a chess champion," Miguel added. "People think you need a special sort of
brain." |

| | wordfunph: from Michael de la Maza's book Rapid Chess Improvement, page 24.. <You must now that if you refuse to study tactics then, to quote GM Miguel Quinteros, you are 'doomed to remain weak' and are 'well advised to take up something else, like knitting.'> :-) |
